GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Palm Harbor University High School's international baccalaureate program offers the most extensive and intensive educational programs in Pinellas county. The education is second to none and the students are the most prepared for college out of any other in the area. The teachers are exceptional and have a deep understanding of the curriculum.

I moved from a small school and have loved PHU it has been a great experience. The school is nice and most of the teachers are there for the students. There are so many things to choose from and they really help you throughout your years and prepare for the future.

I moved to PHUHS back in the end of November from NJ and at first, I was very scared but, the people were very welcoming but some administrators can be pretty mean. Academics are good and Sports are amazing, Also the arts are good to but don't get enough attention like sports. Overall, it's a good school and provides many opportunities for you.

Palm Harbor High is the BEST rated and most sought after school in the area. I know from what I’ve heard that it’s MUCH better than Eastlake High. I found it strange that it has such an average score, in my opinion, it’s a 5-star school. Most students who are enrolled there come from wealthy familie...
